Hi!
Is it possible to make a purchase (for features to be used in the app) externally?
We are planning to introduce a pricing system that varies along 3 axes:
- the field area that a farmer wants to use the product for (however small or however large the area is - from 1 hectare to infinity),
- features that the farmer needs (multiple features that the user will add to the ‘basket’),
- and how long they want to use the plan for (monthly or yearly).
In this system, if a user needs to use some of the features we provide in the app,
- they will need to choose which fields they want the features to be added to,
- they will need to select the features they need for those fields,
- lastly, they will determine how long they want to use those features for.
I think the user cannot have more than one subscription in an application, so I cannot introduce multiple subscriptions that are field-based for the farmers. Some of our services are suitable for pay-per-use, but others are services that we need to provide over a certain period of time. However, this subscription issue is limiting us.
For consumable products, I think there should be some packages/bundles. However, in our case, when the field size is not a whole number, the price needs to be fractional, so we can't get the exact price that the user needs to pay. This restricts us because it is necessary to determine a (limited) number of packages/bundles in advance.
There's also a maximum price limit for IAPs, so we cannot make a sale when users want to purchase the plan for larger fields.
How should we go on with this? Can we let the users pay externally? What else can we do?
Thanks a lot!
